-Two hours later, near midnight -
Qin Chu and a tipsy Zhang Manlin walked out the nightclub; the latter sneezed at an icy breeze .
"It's so cold, I should've worn more clothes out," she exclaimed; at a moment like this, she really thought that a gentleman like Qin Chu would take off his expensive jacket and put it on her .
"It's late, I should head back . Are you okay with taking a taxi?" Qin Chu turned around and asked .
Zhang Manlin was dumbfounded for a whole three seconds, and then, she finally came back to her senses and stuttered, "Oh, I-I'm okay with taking a taxi . "
"Mhm, then I'm going to go now . "
"Wait, President Qin . "

"What?"
"Let me find a designated driver for you, you've had too much . What if the traffic police hail you down?"
"Don't worry about that, none of the cops have the guts to arrest me . " Then, with a snicker, Qin Chu got on his black Bentley and drove away . . . leaving Zhang Manlin alone on the street, waiting for her taxi .
As soon as Qin Chu got in his car, his expression fell . He glanced at Zhang Manlin from his rearview mirror with a complicated expression on his face .
Then, he directly headed home .
"Hey, pretty lady, where are you headed? I can give you a ride," some random guy outside the club came up and flirted with Zhang Manlin .
"F*ck off . "
Zhang Manlin wasn't in the mood to talk; therefore, she angrily hailed down a taxi and headed home .

She arrived home close to midnight .
Throwing her bag onto the couch, Zhang Manlin took out her phone and called Huo Siqian through a secure app . Zhang Manlin: "Big Brother Siqian . "
Huo Siqian: "Manlin, how was it?"
Zhang Manlin: "I just saw him, they really got into a fight . "
Huo Siqian: "So it's true? Didn't you ask him about it?"
Zhang Manlin: "It doesn't seem fake, Qin Chu looked really sad . He even talked to me about Huo Mian back in the day . " Huo Siqian: "Oh, I see . . . "
Zhang Manlin: "But he's so not a gentleman! I drank with him all night and thought he would at least drive me home and give me the chance to approach him further . But he ended up driving away, leaving me there to take a taxi home myself!"

Her tone was filled with displeasure .
Huo Siqian: "Haha, that's a good thing . "
Zhang Manlin: "Big Brother Siqian, why are you laughing? Now's not the time!"
Huo Siqian: "What do you know? That's Qin Chu's true self . If he really drove you home and let you approach him, it means he knows that you're a fake . Qin Chu's an indifferent person to begin with, so his attitude towards you is normal . I guess he really did get into a fight with Mian . "
Zhang Manlin: "Mhm, I also think I'm not the only reason they fought . Qin Chu also mentioned Liu Ze . "
Huo Siqian: "Liu Ze? That rich heir that recently started working at South Side?"
Zhang Manlin: "Big Brother Qian, he's not one of your guys?"
Huo Siqian: "No . "
Zhang Manlin: "That's weird . I always thought you ordered Liu Ze to keep an eye on Huo Mian . "
Huo Siqian: "But I didn't . "
Zhang Manlin: "What a coincidence, I heard my colleagues at South Side talk about Liu Ze, apparently he's interested in Huo Mian and flirts with her with every chance he gets . Qin Chu also told me that he once saw them eating together at the hospital . This is true, I heard about this too . "
Huo Siqian: "I think I have to look into this Liu Ze then . Anything else?"
Zhang Manlin: "Yeah, one more thing,"
Huo Siqian: "Go on . "
(TL Note: who do you think sent Liu Ze to Huo Mian's side?)
